Old Pulteney 1997 Hand Filled 14 Year Old Cask #1086

The Pulteney distillery in Wick was built in 1826, and for a long time was the northernmost distillery on the Scottish mainland. Acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1924, the distillery was quickly forced to close down in 1930, as Prohibition in its hometown was enacted to attempt to curb drunkenness among its maritime society. When it re-opened in 1955, the majority of its output was reserved for blending, although Gordon & MacPhail were licensed to bottle a single malt by Hiram Walker. Its single malt was known as "Old Pulteney" on their labels, and this tradition remained when Inver House, who acquired the distillery in 1995, released Pulteney's first distillery bottlings.

A single ex-bourbon cask matured Old Pulteney distilled on the 8th September 1997 and bottled at 14 years old on 27th March 2012.

This bottle has been hand filled.
